The CC Skywave™ opens up a marvelous world of radio at home or when you're traveling. It has an intuitive layout so it is easy to use and has exceptional overall performance. Our customers are calling it the "Ultimate Travel Radio". The reception, audio and durable build are what this radio excels at.

Never listened to the Aviation band? This band lets you listen to nearby pilots, air traffic controllers and ground crew. When traveling, airline schedule changes and problems can be perplexing and annoying. Listening to control towers can provide endless entertainment and informative tidbits of information. It is as simple as telling the Skywave to scan for an active frequency until you find some action. The best one is usually the approach frequency used for planes that are landing and you'll know if you've found the correct one when you hear it. You can also search the web for "air traffic control radio Seattle" for example, to find information and to learn more about aviation radio. If you live next to a smaller airport you could ask a local pilot for the frequency or look up "common traffic advisory frequency" plus the airport name. English is the standard language used in aviation at all airports worldwide.

When traveling abroad, unless you have checked local laws, tuck your Skywave™ into a safe corner of your carry-on. An Airband radio may not be legal to have in some countries.

Excellent radio, for a great priceWould not hesitate to order this product and dealing with Crane was as simple as it gets.

PROSI don't know why someone would buy new if an orpharn is available. If I didn't know better I would think it was new. My wife and I bought this for my father-in-law for his 91st birthday. He had been talking about wanting a short wave radio. This one fit the bill. He says it sounds great,likes the ear plugs and enjoys also listening to the pilots.CONSTheir is only one negative,and that is really not a knock on the rafio itself. It is a bit small for someone getting older whose hands don't quite work the as well as they used to.

Tiny But PowerfulI've been a C Crane customer for many years and have purchased many units of varying sizes and applications. All perform wonderfully even after decades of use. Sometimes paying a little more is worth it!

PROSA perfect on-the-go radio that produces excellent reception. I find using Sony earplugs produces a sound similar to a big expensive unit. Maybe a bit pricey but the CCrane brand tells you with care it will give you service for manyCONSIt's small and the speaker is small so using ear plugs works wonderfully.BEST USESOn the move,traveling or other applications where you can hear radio.

I am trying to tune my CC Skywave using the Tuning Knob or the Up/Down buttons on the AM band, but it is not showing my radio station's frequency. What am I doing wrong?

The radio maybe set to 9 kHz tuning steps instead of 10 kHz tuning steps. To change this, turn the radio off, then press and hold the button preset #0 (9/10kHz) down for 3 seconds or until the display shows the number 10.
Turn the radio on and select the AM band. Try tuning the radio using the tuning knob or the Up/Down buttons.

How do I find what firmware version of the CC Skywave that I have?

Press and hold the Preset #1 button down for 3 seconds with radio turned OFF.

Why does the light flash on and off when I turn the radio off?

The Weather Alert is turned on. This is a reminder that the alert feature is on and is working. It is not recommended to leave on frequently when using batteries.

How do I do a complete factory reset?

With the power off, press and hold memory buttons #4 and #6 until the radio beeps four times, the display flashes and three final beeps are heard.

How do I change the audio quality from MUSIC to VOICE?

Press and hold the PAGE button for 3 seconds. You should hear a beep and see the setting change on the screen. To switch back, hold the PAGE button again for 3 seconds.
